5 agents
The client's finance operation was running without the specialized accounting support it needed. Bank reconciliations had fallen 7 days behind, vendor payments were taking up to 72 hours to process, and the previous vendor lacked the accounting and finance industry knowledge required to close the gap. The knowledge deficit was not a performance problem, it was a structural one.
Without a team that understood reconciliation workflows, payment SLAs, and month-end close requirements, backlogs compounded, vendors escalated for non-payment, reconciliation observations accumulated and the finance team had no reliable visibility into the weekly payment queue or the state of domestic and international bank accounts.

Onboarding and First-Touch Invoice Management
Amalga became the first point of contact for new client onboarding and inbound invoice processing. Every invoice received was logged, categorized, and routed through a structured intake workflow, eliminating the untracked queue that had allowed payment delays to accumulate under the previous vendor.
Multi-Market Bank Account Review
Amalga implemented a structured review of client bank accounts across Mexico and international markets. Domestic and cross-border transactions were reconciled on a consistent daily cadence, with automated alerts triggered if reconciliation fell more than two to three days behind preventing the 7-day backlog from recurring.
Weekly Vendor Payment List and Approval Workflow
Amalga built and maintained a weekly vendor payment compilation delivered directly to the finance lead for review and approval. Every active vendor was captured, payment status was tracked, and the SLA for processing was set at under 24 hours, down from the 72-hour delays the operation had previously experienced.
Transaction Categorization and Reconciliation Framework
Amalga deployed a structured transaction categorization and bank reconciliation framework tied to month-end close requirements. All transactions were categorized and reconciled before the start of each new month, achieving 100% compliance with no active observations. Refunds were flagged and processed no later than two weeks before month-end close.
AI Implementation and Quality Standards
With core reconciliation and payment workflows stabilized, Amalga implemented AI-assisted tools to accelerate transaction processing and reduce manual handling time. Quality standards were reinforced through the adoption of writing/communication AI tools across all written client communications, closing the grammar and professionalism gap that had existed under the prior vendor.
